385: Chapter 385: I Understand, I Understand This!_1 385: Chapter 385: I Understand, I Understand This!_1 Trenton Rich’s invitation actually had quite a bit of sincerity.
Just the promise of an unlimited supply of elixirs necessary for cultivation was enough to make any cultivator’s heart flutter.
The path of cultivation, while reliant on talent, depends even more on resources.
This is akin to the saying that even a pig can fly if it stands at the right spot in a strong wind.
Pour an abundance of cultivation resources into soone, and even a pig can beco quite formidable.
Hadn’t the Miller Family won over so many non-family cultivators by splurging on money, resources, and cultivation techniques?
Carson Flores needed elixirs for cultivation as well; otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked Trevor Knight to find him a connection to purchase dicine, leading to this very dinner party.
However, even though Carson Flores needed elixirs, he had no intention of joining any sect or family.
Regardless of how grand the title or how high the status, at its core, the nature was still of being bought by soone else, used by others—nothing more than the difference between a low-level employee and a senior manager.
Carson Flores raised his cup with a smile, “Thank you, Mr.
Rich, for your high regard.
However, I’m quite accustod to my freedom.
I’m lazy and like to act on a whim, so I’m not interested in joining for now.
But rest assured, Mr.
Rich, I will not be joining any sects.”
Brock Rich was slightly disappointed, but this outco was sowhat expected.
A 27-year-old Great Grandmaster with limitless prospects—he wouldn’t be willing to join a family and work for others.
That was perfectly normal.
“All right, Mr.
Flores, then let’s pretend I didn’t say anything.
Let’s talk about sothing else…”
Carson Flores clinked glasses with Brock Rich, smiling, “Please, go ahead.”
Brock Rich fixed his eyes on Carson Flores, “Mr.
Flores, you possess unparalleled dical skills, even knowing the Resuscitation Technique, which is an extraordinary feat.
I’d like to ask Mr.
Flores to help treat a patient.”
Carson Flores smiled, “You an to see a patient?”
Brock Rich nodded, “Yes, to see a patient.”
Carson Flores did not refuse, “Where is the patient?”
Brock Rich answered, “In Misty Hill City.
The patient is severely ill and it’s inconvenient to move them.
I’m afraid we will need Mr.
Flores to make a trip to Misty Hill City.
Would you be able to spare the ti?”
Since Brock Rich took the initiative to et, gave gifts, extended invitations, and spoke with warmth, it was hard for Carson Flores to refuse.
He agreed right away, “I still have so matters to attend to.
Once they are taken care of, I can accompany you.
But I must say upfront, with the Rich Family’s resources, you surely can find many good physicians.
If no other doctors can do it, it’s unlikely that I can either.”
Brock Rich hastened to say, “I understand, I get it!
We’ll accept any outco, and even if it’s impossible to treat, we won’t let Mr.
Flores co all this way for nothing.”
Carson Flores didn’t decline, after all, wasn’t it his rightful duty to treat patients and charge consultation fees?
“Good!”
After another clink of glasses, Carson Flores finally confird that Brock Rich had sought him out for his dical skills.
Carson Flores didn’t mind making a good connection.
After all, he was idle anyway.
Considering the standing of the Three Sects and Four Families, among the top powers of the southwest, and renowned even nationwide, making friends was always a gain.
With matters settled, the party continued drinking and toasting, both host and guest enjoying themselves.
Carson Flores didn’t bring up the matter of buying dicine as he thought, going to Misty Hill City to save soone; if things went smoothly, purchasing dicine would be a trivial issue, hardly worth ntioning.
After the al, Carson Flores carried the bag of greeting gifts and returned to the hotel with Old Trevor.
“The Rich Family is truly a dicinal powerhouse.
Even a greeting gift is worth a small fortune.”
Trevor Knight exclaid, “Add all these dicines together, and they’re worth at least ten million.”
Carson Flores asked in surprise, “Are they that valuable?”
Trevor Knight explained, “I’m talking about the market retail price.
Restorative Elixirs are sold for two million each in the market, that’s six million for three, and these Energy Condensing Pills are around three hundred thousand each, there are at least twenty here, which adds another six million.
See, that brings us to twelve million.
Of course, their cost price definitely isn’t that high…”
Carson Flores laughed, “First a gift, then an invitation to join, and after accepting the gift, I refused to join the Rich Family.
It wouldn’t look good to also turn down the request to treat soone.
Brock Rich is quite calculated, layer by layer.”
Trevor Knight laughed, “I think his invitation was also sincere.
After all, which sect or family wouldn’t want soone like you?””
Carson Flores asked, “Do you know who in the Rich Family is ill?”
Trevor Knight shook his head, “I don’t know about that.
Although I’ve dealt with Trenton Rich quite a few tis, we only talk about business and pleasure, seldom about the Rich Family’s affairs.”
Carson Flores nodded, “Then let’s not worry about it.
I’ll make a trip when the ti cos.”
Trevor Knight joked, “If you manage to cure their patient, your relationship with them will naturally deepen, and they’ll surely satisfy any request for dicines.”
The two joked and walked back, with Carson Flores attracting attention and greeting smiles from many onlookers, even receiving so direct greetings.
Trevor Knight laughed, “You’re quite famous now—a 27-year-old Great Grandmaster, a top dical expert who knows the Resuscitation Technique…”
