You State, Xuanmiao City

“I heard you’re going to become rich?”

At a restaurant, Zhou Huaiying said to Lin Jiang that three months ago, Tianxuan Sect announced that the Blood Demon Ancestor was critically injured and likely died in the Wilderness. Even if he didn’t die, he was unable to cause trouble in Xuanmiao City anymore.

This boosted the morale of the cultivators. Now, after three months, the golden core and Nascent Soul cultivators in Xuanmiao City are no longer disappearing for no reason. This tangible phenomenon has caused high-level cultivators to return to Xuanmiao City.

As these people return, it naturally leads to an increase in housing prices in Xuanmiao City. As a speculator who took advantage of this opportunity, Lin Jiang is going to make a fortune.

“Senior, rumors in the martial world cannot be trusted.”

“I don’t want your money, so why are you worried?”

“I’m not worried, it’s just that I haven’t made any money yet. The housing prices haven’t gone up, and most businesses this year have been running at a loss. I’m barely keeping things balanced.”

“Senior, I’m a good person. Despite the bad business, other businesses have been laying off staff. But I haven’t fired a single person. Just their salaries for the hundreds of employees is already a large sum of money, and…”

Lin Jiang quickly pretended to be poor. It was necessary to act poor, even though he had influential connections. Showing off wealth only invites hatred, so he had to cry poverty.

“Alright, alright, we all know who you are. Back in the Divine Kingdom days, I never saw you at a disadvantage.”

“Yes, yes, speaking of which, some friends from the Divine Kingdom also wanted to come and meet you. Will you see them?”

“No need, that’s all in the past now.”

Zhou Huaiying shook his head. Those people from the Divine Kingdom who had high cultivation levels and could socialize together always stayed in touch, while those with lower cultivation levels only came to him for personal gain. It was meaningless.

“Sure, I will politely decline them.”

“I came to see you today, nothing else, just want to do a small business with you.”

“Please go ahead, I will do my best.”

“Don’t worry, it’s a normal business, no one will be at a loss. Just buying and selling some special products from North State.”

“Special products from North State?”

“Yes, it’s a small business in private. Someone will contact you later.”

“Okay.”

Lin Jiang said, not quite understanding. The trading company under Tianxuan Sect is the largest in Xiaotian City, and they import the most North State special products every year. What does Zhou Huaiying want to do with him?

Could it be that he wants to seek some personal benefits?

No matter what it is, as long as it’s a normal business, Lin Jiang won’t refuse. Even if he earns a little less, it doesn’t matter, or even if he doesn’t earn at all. After all, he has to make a living on someone else’s turf.

A few days later, a person who claimed to be Zhou Huaiying’s disciple came to negotiate with Lin Jiang. That’s when Lin Jiang learned that Zhou Huaiying was acquiring the Human Demon of North State.

“Brother, I understand Snow Demon, Fox People, and Rabbit People and others. After all, if you ignore their monstrous features, all these Human Demon Tribes are beautiful. But Brother, what you want are all Human Demons.”

Lin Jiang asked quietly. There are quite a few Human Demons in Xuanmiao City from North State, mainly Snow Demon and Fox People. In simple terms, they are pets, but there are also some with unusual tastes, like Small Shadiao.

But this time, Zhou Huaiying included all the Human Demon Tribes. What’s he planning?

“You don’t need to ask too much, Mr. Xiao. My master has his reasons. The bottom line is that we’ll pay the price as agreed.”

“Okay, but we can’t meet your requirements in terms of quantity.”

“Why? The price we offer is fair.”

“It’s not about the price. North State has been plagued by a few evil forces, and the Human Demon Tribes have suffered heavy casualties. North State’s mining resources still need these tribes to dig, so for the past two years, most of the prisoners of North State have been released back.”

Lin Jiang said that he was not unwilling, but he didn’t want to earn that money either. He wanted to leave some bottom line for himself, more or less.

“Boss Xiao, can’t we make a compromise? As you know, our business can’t pass through Xiaotian City anymore. Except for you guys, if the money is not satisfactory, we can discuss it again.”

“Senior brother, it’s not about the money. My status in Xiaotian City is not high either. I really can’t make the decision.”

“Boss Xiao, this is disrespecting my master.”

“Senior brother, it’s not fun to say that. In business, we need something to sell first. I don’t have any goods on hand, so how can we do business?”

“Boss Xiao, you’re so persuasive. I can’t argue with you, but I can’t explain to my master. If I’m not doing well, then some people won’t have a good time either.”

“Is that so? I don’t believe it. I won’t talk about the people behind me. If I’m not doing well, some businesses in Xiaotian City won’t be doing well either.”

Lin Jiang directly countered, if it was Zhou Huaiying saying this, he might be afraid, but just a mere golden core, Lin Jiang didn’t take it seriously.

The two businesses relied on their respective cities, which was a compromise between the two powers. If it was ruined by just a golden core, it would only show the intentions between the two powers, but obviously, it was not the case now.

“Shopkeeper Xiao, really don’t want to?”

“If I reduce it by four fifths as you said, I can do it. The rest, please find someone else. I have other things to do. Goodbye, Xiao.”

Lin Jiang didn’t feel like wasting time talking to him. He wasn’t in a good mood lately and didn’t want to bother anymore. Either cooperate or find someone else to work with.

“Dad, dad, where are you?”

Small Shadiao arrived at Lin Jiang’s mansion and went to the backyard, shouting loudly. He searched around but couldn’t find Lin Jiang.

“I’m here.”

Suddenly, Lin Jiang’s voice came from behind Small Shadiao, scaring him.

“Oh my goodness, dad, how did you appear out of nowhere?”

“How’s your new magic power?”

“Not good, you sneaked into my bed in the middle of the night without me knowing. I want to learn it too.”

“What are you learning it for? To sneak into the fairy’s bed in Zhongmiao Building?”

“Come on, is that the kind of person I am? Maybe, at most, when my future wife doesn’t let me in, I’ll sneak in quietly.”

“Here are six words for you: the sound of a flute from afar.”

“What does that mean, Dad? Are you going to play the flute? Why not learn to play the flute instead?”

“Enough! Let’s talk about something important.”

Lin Jiang rolled his eyes fiercely. Why couldn’t the kid catch the joke? Boring.

“Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, Lin Dongyan is looking for you.”

“Do you know something?”

“I haven’t said anything, but Lin Dongyan’s temper is just like yours now. It’s getting worse. He’s been driving away all the disciples around him. Except for teaching them regularly, he doesn’t let anyone get close. Dad, you have to find him a woman. He must be so bad-tempered because he doesn’t have a woman in his life. We have to take care of him, he’s our lucky charm.”

“When did you become so chatty?”

“Is that so?”

“I still prefer you when you were little, you didn’t talk much.”

Lin Jiang rolled his eyes and ignored him, leaving the residence and heading towards Lin Dongyan’s residence.

Lin Dongyan has been in a bad mood lately, not only driving away the disciples around him, but also getting rid of all the servants in the house. Lin Jiang naturally knew what was going on.

“Uncle”

“Is the medicine ready?”

“It became a pill, Zhong Jingyun’s medicine is difficult to divide according to normal methods and is especially hard to make.”

“Have you tried it?”

“I have personally tried it, it works, but I don’t know the side effects. Will you take it?”

“Of course, I definitely won’t take it.”

Lin Jiang said, Evil Pill King Zhong Jingyun’s many medicines didn’t solve the side effects, that’s why they needed a Drug Tester like Su Chang. But most of those Drug Testers ended up dying. He’s a billionaire, why would he risk his life?

“Alright, you help me give the pill to the leader. The leader will naturally find someone to test it. When the side effects are solved, I will give it to you.”

“Okay, I will personally go.”

“Yes, it’s a pity that Evil Pill King Zhong Jingyun died too early at Su Chang’s hands, otherwise with his intelligence, he would have definitely been able to improve these medicines.”

“Is Zhong Jingyun very powerful?”

“He wasn’t just impressive, he was exceptionally impressive. In the past, the most impressive Alchemist in Yun State was Li Ruoxu, but compared to him, Li Ruoxu is not even worthy of shining his shoes.”

“Is that really so exaggerated?”

“It’s not an exaggeration. Zhong Jingyun is a pioneering figure. Although he creates Evil Pills, we cannot deny his intelligence and talent. If I were to compare myself to him… well, let’s just say I’m not even worthy.”

Lin Dongyan said, after seeing the things Zhong Jingyun left behind, he realized the gap between himself and a top genius. Zhong Jingyun cannot even be described as a genius, but as a prodigy.

“Let’s not talk about that. Please continue.”

Lin Jiang sighed. Lin Dongyan initially rejected this kind of medicine, but now it seems he is addicted to the pleasure brought by this technology. This is how a tech-savvy person thinks.

However, Lin Jiang still feels uncomfortable. If the pills were given to him, he would take them, but feeling uneasy is also true. In this matter, he is just being awkward.
