Seeing Jiang Xiaobai entering the Golden Pavilion, the surrounding pairs of eyes temporarily lost their target, but they all kept a keen gaze on the entrance of the Golden Pavilion.
Some people even started preparing to track Jiang Xiaobai stealthily when he came out. If they suspected him, they would approach him.
Don’t think they are doing something sinister by following him stealthily. Facing a pill-refining master who can make Huaqing Pills, they dare not get tough. At most, they would just use the name of their background forces to negotiate.
Just as Jiang Xiaobai entered the Golden Pavilion, Lu Lian hurried over.
Given Jiang Xiaobai’s current black robe and black mask attire, he was of highest concern among the many attendants in the Golden Pavilion. Once anyone like this was spotted, Lu Lian must be promptly informed. “Iron-faced Pill Master, it’s been long days since I last saw you.” Lu Lian wheedled, “This way, please. Manager Qian is waiting for you.” Jiang Xiaobai nodded indifferently and took the lead.
Once out of the Dragon Valley, he was no more the submissive Qi-refining son-in-law, but the elderly Yuan Infant, and even a top pill-refining master!
It was the same secret room where he had met Qian Dabao before. Qian Dabao was sitting in it, seemingly ill at ease.
“Oh, finally, Ironface Sir. Our Golden Pavilion’s doorstep was almost worn out these days.” Qian Dabao wryly smiled, but it was clear from his eyes that he was thrilled.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled lightly and seated himself opposite to Qian Dabao,
“Manager Qian, in recent times, your Golden Pavilion must have made killing, right?”
“Oh no, we owe this thriving business to you. Furthermore, Ironface Sir, about the last Huaqing Pill incident…”
Qian Dabao informed Jiang Xiaobai about the recent happenings in brief. In essence, the Huaqing Pills stirred quite a sensation, then everyone approached the Pavilion for the medicine.
However, only Jiang Xiaobai can refine these pills. In the absence of these, the Golden Pavilion had no choice but to stall everyone.
While informing, Qian Dabao subtly inquired if they could still get the Huaqing Pills this time.
After listening, Jiang Xiaobai nodded calmly. He had predicted this situation earlier and was not surprised.
“Manager Qian, no need to worry, there will be Huaqing Pills.”
Jiang Xiaobai declared nonchalantly, then waved his hand. Instantly, the table was covered with porcelain bottles, each housing five Huaqing Pills. On the whole, there seemed to be at least a hundred.
Upon seeing this, Qian Dabao almost popped his eyes out. For a moment, he had only one thought in his mind.
How much money will he make with so many Huaqing Pills?
“To be honest, I want to have a serious chat with you about the Huaqing Pills.”
Jiang Xiaobai slowly said, “For some time in the future, I will only be supplying these to your Pavilion. Meaning, except for your Golden Pavilion, nobody else on the entire Tianxuan Continent will have access to these.”
“The quantity may vary, but price-wise, no matter how many Huaqing Pills, I will give you each at one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones!”
As soon as this statement came out, Qian Dabao stood there stupefied, his face full of disbelief.
Remember the last time when the Huaqing Pills were auctioned off?
Everyone wanted to get it no matter what, even if that meant spending their entire fortune. The competition was fierce. If it was not for the nature of the auction, they would probably have killed each other for a Huaqing Pill.
The price of the Huaqing Pills after the auction was even horrifying. Millions, tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones!
Those were top-grade spirit stones!
However, Qian Dabao quickly regained his composure. Even though Jiang Xiaobai was willing to sell the Huaqing Pills to him at a price of one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones each, there was more to this.
From Qian Dabao’s perspective as a businessman, Jiang Xiaobai was apparently trying to suppress the price of the Huaqing Pills. But to what end, doing charity?
Qian Dabao, the businessman, couldn’t comprehend.
But no matter if he understands it or not, this is Jiang Xiaobai’s own decision. Regardless of Jiang Xiaobai’s calculations for the future, initially, he would be benefiting significantly.
“How about this? Ironface Sir, we could share the half of the profits earned from all the Huaqing Pills with you?”
Qian Dabao tentatively proposed.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled slightly at this, “There’s no need for that. A hundred thousand each is fine. As for how much you price them, or what you do with these Huaqing Pills, it’s none of my concern. I am only accountable for providing you with these Huaqing Pills.”
“This…”
For a moment, Qian Dabao was at a loss for words. He really couldn’t figure out what Jiang Xiaobai was up to.
Later, the number of Huaqing Pills on the table was counted. There were as many as one hundred forty pills, which translates to fourteen hundred fifty million top-grade spirit stones.
This amount was even less than the proceedings from the last auction.
After receiving the money, Jiang Xiaobai was prepared to buy some spirit medicine from the Golden Pavilion, but Qian Dabao insisted on not taking any money. Jiang Xiaobai did not insist either.
At least he could see that this guy knew how to balance things and was intentionally trying to win him over. That’s exactly what Jiang Xiaobai wanted to see.
“Oh yes, Manager Qian, I wanted to ask you something.”
Jiang Xiaobai suddenly asked, “Have there been any odd happenings around here recently?”
Qian Dabao’s face lit up as though he understood something, thereby his expression became mysterious. He even ordered someone to fetch a jade slip.
“Ironface Sir, everything that happened in the last one hundred years is recorded in this jade slip. ” Qian Dabao smiled and handed over the jade slip with both hands.
Jiang Xiaobai nodded. After all, the Golden Pavilion was also a major force in Tianyuan City. It was the best way to inquire for some news.
Taking the jade slip, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t stay much longer and walked out of the Golden Pavilion.
Qian Dabao also knew the situation outside, naturally, he would not immediately announce the arrival of Huaqing Pills in the Golden Pavilion as soon as Jiang Xiaobai had left.
The whereabouts of the Ironface Man must be kept a secret.
As soon as Jiang Xiaobai left, Qian Dabao called his close aide.
“Quickly go notify our Master. This matter is not something that I can handle.”
Right at that moment, Qian Dabao’s face bore a look of both excitement and alarm, as he felt that this matter was getting out of hand for a mere person in charge like him.
After leaving the Golden Pavilion, Jiang Xiaobai knew that many people were tailing him. Undoubtedly, they were people from those powers.
These people were not that talented. Jiang Xiaobai easily dodged their tracking with escape techniques. He then went to the small shop he had bought earlier.
The shop’s front door was still closed, but it had been refurbished. It no longer looked old and dilapidated, instead, there was a faint sense of liveliness around it..
