Doupo: I'm just an alchemist

Chapter 9 Parliament
Nangong Family Ancestral Hall.

"Wuxin is here, come and sit down!"

"Yes, yes, come and sit next to me..."

Nangong Jue felt relieved when he saw that these old men were even more excited and enthusiastic to see their sons than himself.

But, that chair you took is mine! Mine!!!
After some pleasant chat, everyone started talking about the theme of this parliament.

"Everyone, I'm sure everyone knows about the drug trial. Wuxin told us before that he planned to use this pill to win over people's hearts and establish our family's position in the empire. Furthermore, he planned to use the Spirit Gathering Liquid to make profits for the family. What do you think?"

As the meeting began, Nangong Jue's aura as the family patriarch naturally rose, and the others listened quietly to the patriarch's speech.

After hearing Nangong Jue's original intention of testing the medicine, several elders looked at each other, and the youngest elder, Nangong Lie, spoke first.

"Clan leader, we understand what you and Young Master Wuxin mean, but how should we implement it specifically?"

Nangong Jue didn't say anything, but turned to look at Nangong Wuxin and blinked at him.

Nangong Wuxin understood and stood up calmly.

"Father, Mother, and all the elders, I believe you should understand the current situation of the Jia Ma Empire better than I do, especially those major forces."

"The guardian of the royal family is getting old. Although he is a Douhuang, he still cannot live forever. At the same time, the royal family has no successor until now. If no one to take on the throne appears in the future, then hehe..."

"And that behemoth that has stood for a thousand years has an unbroken legacy. The new leader of the Yunlan Sect is said to be a Douhuang powerhouse, and is in the prime of his life."

"The contradictions between these two major forces are becoming increasingly serious, and friction is constant. It can be said that they are incompatible."

"If it weren't for the Alchemist Guild, a powerful force mediating between them, I'm afraid the two families would have fought to the death long ago."

"The upper echelons of the Gama Empire are now in a three-way competition. This is the perfect time for small figures like us to develop ourselves."

"The Spirit Gathering Liquid is of great importance. If it is taken out alone, it will definitely be a disaster."

“But if we use this tranquility pill as a prelude to win people’s hearts, then our Nangong family will be famous in the Jiama Empire.”

"Maybe there will be some obstacles in the process, but there are some things we do that are better than them not doing them."

"With the people's hearts gathered together, even those two families would not dare to use their strength to rob us, because the people's hearts represent justice."

"For a little profit, they put themselves at a disadvantage in the eyes of the public. I believe that if those people have some common sense, they won't do it."

"At the same time, I will announce the recipe for the Tranquility Pill and work with the Alchemist Guild."

"After that, we will give those families the Spirit Gathering Liquid as gifts every year. That way, we can quietly watch the clouds rise and fall."

Nangong Wuxin clenched his fists, revealing an extremely confident demeanor.

For a moment, everyone was lost in thought.

"It's true that listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!"

"Yes, Master Wuxin is truly talented. How could I not have thought of that?"

"Master Wuxin, those families may not take action, but what about the people under them?" The fifth elder asked this question in a fit of anger.

"..." Nangong Wuxin was silent for a moment, then looked at the gray-haired elder and said slowly, "Of the forces that can stand firm in this empire, there must be smart people among them. They wouldn't be so unwise."

"Besides, I will go to the Alchemist Guild to assess my level. I believe that with my talent, I will impress that old man." "Ahem, the Fifth Elder must have been busy lately. Wuxin, please sit down first."

Nangong Jue asked Nangong Wuxin to sit down, and then he realized that not all the elders in the family were smart, and there were some who were not very smart.

"If we send the Spirit Gathering Liquid to those families every year, doesn't that make our Nangong family seem too cowardly?"

The Sixth Elder patted his head, feeling a little uncomfortable.

The great elder, who was sitting upright, curled his lips and said, "This makes us look so incompetent that we are not even as good as an underage child."

“Sixth Brother, the strongest person in our Nangong family is only Dou Ling. It is not shameful to bow down to a Dou Huang.”

"But that would make us look rather heartless, I think..."

The Sixth Elder felt that the Nangong family had been able to reach where they are today in just a few decades, largely due to their courage to fight and strive.

If we lose our courage, won’t everyone in our family be a bunch of wimps in the future?

"Then go and challenge the Douhuang master in a duel!"

The third elder, who had a bad temper, pointed outside the door and signaled that the sixth elder should get out.

Daring to fight and seeking death are not the same thing. Even if all the people in the Nangong family were tied together, it would still be enough for a Douhuang strongman to kill them in five minutes. How dare you be so cowardly →_→

Now that an unparalleled genius has appeared in the family, it will be no problem for him to break through to the Douhuang level in the future. What will happen if you just remain a coward for a while?
You know, this council actually has another purpose, which is that several elders want to examine Nangong Wuxin's overall view.

After all, this is a genius, an extremely noble and gifted alchemist who can create his own pill formulas.

If there is no problem with the overall view and he puts the family first, then the position of the young master of their family will be determined in the future.

But who would have thought?

They actually investigated the people in their elders' group, and they still have no sense of the overall situation. How shameful! They are still investigating them...

In the Douqi Continent, the strong are respected. Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that for a Douling family to be able to establish a relationship with the Douhuang faction is something they can't even hope for even if their ancestral graves explode. But when it comes to you, it's just cowardice...

However, this also taught Nangong Jue and others a lesson. No matter what, they still have to be on guard in the future, because a fool with a brain full of muscles might pop up from nowhere.

"But Young Master, isn't it a little early for you to take the alchemist exam?"

The second elder agreed with his candidate for the next generation patriarch and felt that no risks could be taken.

This is a peerless genius who was born after the family burned countless ancestral graves. If something happens to him, it will be too late for them to regret!

"Haha, it's better for us to take the initiative in some things. When the tranquility pill and the spirit-gathering liquid are released, I won't be able to hide it even if I want to."

Nangong Wuxin shook his head. If a Douhuang expert wanted to check, this little thing would not be hidden at all.

"Don't worry, the Alchemist Guild's president, Fa Mammoth, is very willing to support the younger generation, especially young talents. Right, mother?"

Chen Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that her son actually used himself as a bargaining chip.

Amidst everyone's inquiring gazes, she slowly nodded and said, "Yes, that Fa Mammoth Guild President is indeed very kind to talented juniors."
