I cultivate immortality through The Sims.

Chapter 74 The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish

Qian Wantu's lips twitched again, his eyes glaring fiercely at Yang Mu, and he said in a very low voice, "I told you, don't go too far!"

"Hey!" Yang Mu waved his hand, "I was just asking!"

"Brother Qian, don't worry too much!"

Qian Wantu immediately thought to himself: Is this some kind of nonsense telling me to overthink things? You're clearly targeting me, do you think I don't know?

"Xiao Zi, why don't you thank Brother Qian!"

"Thank you, Brother Qian!" Wan Zi immediately said with a smile.

"Shouldn't we get down to business now?" Qian Wantu asked through gritted teeth.

Yang Mu suppressed a laugh and turned to Wan Zi and the other two, saying, "You all go back inside first!"

After Wan Zi and the other two returned to the house, Qian Wantu turned his head and gestured to his charming servant.

Immediately, the servant threw out three small flags, covering Yang Mu.

"It's best if your younger brother and sister-in-law don't know about these things!" Qian Wantu explained.

"Why are you all so serious? What's going on?" Yang Mu asked.

"This time, I'm doing this on someone else's behalf!" Qian Wantu sneered. "The people from Yixiang Pavilion want to see you!"

Yang Mu immediately feigned anger, saying, "I treated Brother Qian with such sincerity, why did you harm me?"

"How did I hurt you?" Qian Wantu asked, looking puzzled.

"On the night Yixiang Pavilion opened, I could tell with my eyesight that I had ruined Yixiang Pavilion's plans."

"With Brother Qian's keen eyesight, surely you can see it?"

Yang Mu continued, "Right now, Yixiang Pavilion wishes they could kill me, yet you say the people of Yixiang Pavilion want to see me?"

"Isn't this just trying to harm me?"

Qian Wantu immediately understood Yang Mu's meaning: "Brother Yang, you've misunderstood!"

Seeing Yang Mu's completely disbelieving expression, Qian Wantu had no choice but to patiently explain, "You remember that glowing butterfly that night, right?"

Yang Mu nodded, feigning ignorance: "I only found out later that the other nineteen people chosen by the glowing butterfly were all at least at the late Golden Core stage."

At this point, Qian Wantu looked at Yang Mu with a scrutinizing expression.

But Yang Mu remained unmoved, his expression unchanged.

"Yixiang Pavilion is a company that aspires to great things. They offered me a price I couldn't refuse, and they want me to take you there again."

Yang Mu narrowed his eyes, looking at Qian Wantu with a scrutinizing gaze.

Qian Wantu immediately said, "Brother Yang must have guessed that I am a rich young master."

"I'm a businessman. I only do business. I don't care about anything else."

"Yixiang Pavilion has agreed to contract all their future purchasing to me!"

"Do you know how much profit is involved here?"

Yang Mu immediately said sarcastically, "Brother Qian, don't let yourself be used as a pawn."

"If you agree to come with me to Yixiang Pavilion, this matter will be settled!"

After Qian Wantu finished speaking, seeing that Yang Mu still looked uninterested, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you half of the profits!"

Yang Mu picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and indicated that he was not interested.

"Brother Yang, I feel that you are a person with secrets, and that you are no ordinary person, which is why I am telling you this."

Qian Wantu's tone became colder.

Yang Mu remained unmoved.

If a fight were to break out, let's not even talk about whether Qian Wantu could take down Yang Mu and his group.

If they make even the slightest move, Zhao Qingshi's men will probably arrive immediately.

"At most 10%!" Qian Wantu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright!" Yang Mu immediately said, "We're brothers, aren't we? Talking about money will only make things awkward!"

Pooh!

A person even more shameless than laborers and managers!

Luckily, I managed to win over Xiaoqin and Yihe last night, otherwise I would have suffered a huge loss!

Qian Wantu thought to himself.

"In that case, shall we go?" Qian Wantu immediately said.

"What time is it?" Yang Mu pouted. "Don't we have to go to those places at the designated time?"

Seeing that Yang Mu didn't seem like the type to go back on his word, Qian Wantu decided to go along with him.

Qian Wantu immediately wanted to leave.

However, Yang Mu stopped Qian Wantu: "Brother Qian, I have a business opportunity here. I wonder if you would be interested?"

"Oh?" Qian Wantu immediately forgot his previous unpleasantness: "Brother Yang, tell me what you think!"

"I have some ancient elixirs here."

"The medicine is remarkably effective."

"Brother Qian is in business, so I was wondering if you'd be interested!"

"Oh?" Qian Wantu's eyes immediately lit up: "An ancient elixir?"

"May I have a look?"

"It hasn't been refined yet!" Yang Mu readily admitted.

Upon hearing this, Qian Wantu nearly coughed up blood.

You don't even have one, and you're telling me you have yours!

I'm happy with anything that's genuine!

Qian Wantou immediately stood up and said in a deep voice, "Then let's talk again after Brother Yang has it!"

Yang Mu, at this moment, thought, "Brother Qian, are you in a hurry?!"

No, you don't have any!

Why am I the only one getting anxious?

If I get anxious, what's the point of being anxious?

Qian Wantu didn't understand what Yang Mu meant at first.

"To be honest!" Yang Mu said, feigning profundity, "I am an alchemist!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Wantu looked Yang Mu up and down, as if to say: Really?

"I have a batch of ancient Golden Core stage elixir formulas, but I'm missing a few key ingredients."

Qian Wantu immediately sat down again: "Brother Yang, you can't lie about something like this!"

"We're brothers, we'd never cheat you, brother!"

Qian Wantu neither agreed nor disagreed.

"As long as Brother Qian can find all those key ingredients for me, I can have all the ancient elixirs I need!"

Yang Mu began to patiently guide her, saying, "At that time, in the entire Fuqin City, only you will have those ancient elixirs with extraordinary medicinal effects."

"Things are valued for their scarcity. Think about it, back then you could set any price you wanted, right?"

Qian Wantu seemed genuinely tempted, but then cautiously asked, "How many layers of profit do you want?"

"Hey!" Yang Mu waved his hand. "I already said, we're brothers, talking about money only makes things awkward!"

"I want 50%!"

Qian Wantu immediately waved his hand: "No way!"

"I'll find the main materials, I'll find the sales channels, I'll bear the risks, and you just sit there and split the profits—50% is not enough!"

"At most 40%!"

"Okay!" Yang Mu didn't dwell on it too much, after all, refining pills for Wan Zi was the main thing.

Money or not, we have enough for now anyway.

Seeing that Yang Mu agreed so readily, Qian Wantu was a little unsure where Yang Mu had set a trap.

Immediately, Yang Mu made a list of the main ingredients for more than a dozen Golden Core stage pill formulas and gave it to Qian Wantu.

Qian Wantu took a look and his expression changed slightly: "Why are these main materials so rare?"

"Otherwise, why would it be called an ancient elixir formula?" Yang Mu laughed. "But Brother Qian, don't tell anyone that I'm the alchemist!"

"Otherwise, neither of us brothers will be able to stay together!"

Qian Wantu put the list away: "We're brothers, aren't we? If you don't trust anyone else, don't you trust your older brother?"

"It's still the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), I'm coming to find you!"

Upon leaving Yang Mu's cave, the pretty servant couldn't help but exclaim, "I've never seen you give away so much profit before!"

Qian Wantu's expression turned serious: "If that kid really is a third-grade alchemist, this profit is nothing!"

"I never thought I'd be wrong about something!"

"This kid has so many secrets!"

The charming servant didn't dwell on the topic, but instead said, "Fuqin City is about to descend into chaos; you should get away as soon as possible?"

Qian Wantu's lips curled into a smile: "Have you ever heard an old saying?"

"What did you say?" the servant asked curiously.

"The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!" Qian Wantu said confidently.
