After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 207 Honesty
Just as Qiao Laohei said, there are not many people who have connections with the Immortal Sect, but there are plenty of people who can afford to cooperate with Qiao Laohei.

In other words, if the two of them cooperate, he will definitely benefit. If Joe is not satisfied, he can kick him out at any time.

He only got there because he was in the lead; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance to do something like this. There are countless other people who would be willing to pay money to cooperate with Qiao Laohei!

Lu Rong made a show of trying to persuade him, but in the end he gritted his teeth and agreed to Qiao Laohei's June 4th proposal.

Of course, it's Qiao Lao Hei Liu, and I'm number four.

However, Lu Rong was secretly overjoyed—

This Qiao Laohei looks like an honest man. If I were him, I would definitely negotiate to an 80/20 agreement.

"Alright, it's settled then. But when can we get the goods?" Lu Rong asked impatiently.

He was quite excited, because as long as he made a lot of money with this, why would he have to worry about not becoming famous in Purple Leaf City?

Why worry about not having a place at home!
Currently, the two most valued members of the Lu family are Lu Rong and his cousin Lu Zheng.

The two of them each managed a shop, but Lu Zheng's shop was doing better and better, while their own was doing worse and worse.

As a result, his family had many complaints about him.

You should know that Lu Rong's family helped him get the shop, but his family was never satisfied with the profits after he got it.

Lu Zheng's uncle, who is also her father, even jokingly suggested last month that Lu Zheng should take care of Jingrong as well, so that Lu Rong could have a good rest for a while.

Hmph, resting is just an excuse; their real intention is to seize power. How could I give them such a chance!

The breakthrough pill is the perfect opportunity for me. Not only can I suppress the Immortal Sect, but I can also impress my family!

Therefore, Lu Rong couldn't wait to start selling Breakthrough Pills tomorrow.

"We'll get the first batch of goods within three days, but the quantity is uncertain. I guess there won't be many, so don't get your hopes up too high," Qiao Laohei said honestly.

Lu Rong was prepared for this and nodded. "Okay, take one, no problem. But you have to guarantee they're genuine. If you bring me fakes, I'll make you pay!"

Qiao Laohei was speechless. "I don't even have counterfeit goods if you want them. We're just trying to make money. What kind of talk is that!"

"That's good."

"Okay, wait for my news... but you have to give me the money first." Old Qiao held out his hand.

Lu Rong's heart skipped a beat. "Isn't this inappropriate? I haven't even seen the item, how can I give you money?"

"If you don't pay, where am I supposed to get things? Are you expecting the Immortal Sect to give me credit?"

“There’s no reason to give you the money now.” Lu Rong frowned, thought for a moment and said, “How about this, you go and deal with them first, find out the amount you can get, and then I’ll deliver the money to you.”

"Row."

Qiao Laohei agreed.

“Oh, right, there’s one more thing.” Lu Rong stared at him. “You can only do this business with me. No matter how many pills you have, I want them all. You can’t sell them to anyone else but me.”

Qiao Laohei smiled and said, "As long as we cooperate well and the money arrives on time, it doesn't matter who I work with, I'll still make money. Why would I need to find someone else?"

Lu Rong was relieved. "Money is no problem. I can't possibly default on my debt. Once you've confirmed how many you have, I'll pay you."

Old Qiao agreed. Just two days later, the good news arrived.

He suddenly sent a telepathic message to Lu Rong, saying that he had found out and could get three coins, and told Lu Rong to go to the blacksmith shop to deliver the money immediately.

Besides the cost of the pills, we also need to give that person from the Immortal Sect 10,000 coins for each pill as a kickback.

Lu Rong was overjoyed. He gritted his teeth, took out 330,000 crystal tickets, and sent them to Qiao Laohei.

As he walked, he cursed the Immortal Sect in his heart: Where did this dilapidated sect get its pills? They dare to sell them for such a high price, just three pills!
If only all this money were mine.

"Here's the crystal ticket. I'll go with you to get the pills." Lu Rong delivered it to the blacksmith's shop, but kept the ticket instead of handing it to Qiao Laohei.

There's no trust between them yet, so he can't just hand over the crystal tickets because of Qiao Laohei's words.

The number is simply too large. If the pills are fake, or if Qiao Laohei turns his back on them, his shop, while not necessarily closing down, will still suffer significant damage.

If my family finds out, it'll cause a lot of trouble.

“I can’t take you. If you go, they won’t cooperate with me anymore.” Qiao Laohei’s face turned cold. “This is a secret. I have to keep his identity a secret.”

"In that case, I can't give you the money," Lu Rong said coldly. "How can I pay for something that's not even true?"

“Alright, I’ll write you an IOU and swear an oath to the Demonic Heart.” Old Qiao said readily. “You just wait for me here. Once I get the pills and you’ve inspected the goods, we can cancel the IOU. Is that alright?”

Lu Rong was satisfied and smiled, "This is good, then I'll trouble you, Brother Qiao."

Qiao Laohei kept his promise and left Lu Rong in his shop before hurriedly leaving with the crystal tickets.

Lu Rong wanted to keep up, but then he thought it would be pointless.

People will only cooperate with Joe Black. Even if you see who that person is, you can't steal the business from them unless you give them a bigger share of the profits.

But if the price were any higher, he would feel a pang of heartache.

While I was waiting in the shop, I saw a male monk peeking out from the doorway.

Lu Rong didn't recognize the person, so he asked who he was looking for.

"I'm looking for Qiao Laohei, where is he?" the man asked.

"He went out on something, so I'm watching the shop for him. Do you need anything?" Lu Rong sized up the man.

"Sigh, I've tried to talk to him several times. I have a business deal I'd like to discuss with him." The man sighed, then suddenly noticed Lu Rong. "You're here, you wouldn't happen to be thinking of doing business with Qiao Laohei too, would you?"

Doing business with Joe Black?
Lu Rong felt that the business this man was talking about definitely wasn't the business of forging weapons in the blacksmith shop.

Could it be another business related to Breakthrough Pills?
"What kind of business?" Lu Rong asked deliberately. "I'm his friend. I came to chat with him, but he happened to be out, so I was just helping him out."

"I see, thank goodness it's not him... But I have to advise you to give up on this idea. I've been looking for him for three days in a row, and he always chases me away, saying he doesn't have the ability. Sigh." The person said helplessly, "Alright, I came here empty-handed today, I'll come again tomorrow."

Finished talking and left.

Lu Rong grinned after he left.

Now it's confirmed, this person wants to do business with Qiao Laohei on breakthrough pills!
He actually came to see him three times, but luckily Qiao Laohei refused each time. Otherwise, he would have had to give up his business before he even started it.

In this light, Qiao Laohei seems to be an honest man, and he should be trustworthy.
