Anybody with a keen eye can see this is a business deal with guaranteed profit. Just how foolish is Tang Rao to ask for such a price?
"Don't ntion two portions, I can give you four! Just tell what materials you need, and I'll have soone fetch them right away."
Wen Jun spoke with confidence, and Tang Rao didn't hesitate either; before Wen Jun had even handed over his items, Tang Rao had already passed the Elixir Pills to him.
"This is a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, grade seven. Consuming it will make you feel like you're in heaven and hell simultaneously, but if you persevere, you'll rise to a whole new level. Dare to try it?"
After experiencing the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill from Tang Rao a few tis, Wen Jun had developed a fear of that pain which rots you from inside out. But each ti after the pain, he would feel an unprecedented freshness, and it was this thrilling feeling that made Wen Jun thoroughly enjoy the sensation of becoming stronger.
"A grade seven Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill? If it's such a good thing, then I won't hold back."
For Wen Jun, a little pain was nothing; as long as he could beco stronger, everything else was trivial.
"Don't be courteous with . You're the big brother here, and I'm the little brother; who are we if not family?"
Wen Jun was stronger than Tang Rao, and his network was more complex. Tang Rao would need to rely on Wen Jun for future developnt, and building a good relationship now would make it easier to ask Wen Jun for help later.
"Tang Rao, my young friend, you're too modest."
Tang Rao casually gave Wen Jun several recipes for the grade seven Elixir Pills. Although so of the ingredients were rare, they weren't too difficult to find, and he wasn't afraid of Wen Jun taking the recipes to make pills himself.
Even an ordinary Alchemist could refine a grade seven Elixir Pill, and Tang Rao praised Wen Jun as impressive.
"Boss, give one too. If I beco powerful, won't I just beat up whoever you want, solving your troubles? Imagine how satisfying that would be."
Wen Lei, seeing Wen Jun had such good things, pondered if he could also get a grade seven Elixir Pill to show off to his friends?
Unfortunately, Tang Rao didn't even glance at Wen Lei, directly refusing, "You? One pill and you'd drop dead. With your physique, you're too weak to handle it."
Being dismissed by the boss like that, Wen Lei's self-esteem plumted to the floor.
"Boss, I'm your little brother. With you saying this, my little heart is about to be pierced."
Bang, bang, bang.
This wasn't a beating from Tang Rao, but from Wen Lei's own father, Wen Jun.
Even Wen Jun couldn't stand Wen Lei's behavior, so naturally, Wen Jun found it even less tolerable.
"Master, when can we go out again? I can't wait anymore."
From the deep forest, a woman's voice reached Black Demon's ears.
This female voice wasn't coming from anyone else but Leng Pengfei.
Indeed, after intense training for so long, Leng Pengfei was nearly becoming a man more feminine than a woman.
"What did I say? I told you not to rush going out, and now you want to risk your life again?"
Black Demon heartlessly rejected Leng Pengfei's suggestion.
"But I've already reached the fourth layer of the Demon Technique. What level is Tang Rao at, really? Why can't I go?"
Leng Pengfei retorted.
Indeed, being trapped in the deep mountains for so long, Leng Pengfei was unaware of the current state of the outside world.
"Because Tang Rao is not only stronger than you but also surrounded by people stronger than you. To put it bluntly, even if those people moved together, you wouldn't be able to get near any of them. Tell , what could you do?"
Despite relentless training, Leng Pengfei always received the sa answer: he was no match for Tang Rao. Tang Rao was always ahead of those seeking revenge.
It was as if there was a glitch in Tang Rao's system—his training progress could accelerate or decelerate at will. Now, he had even refined a grade seven Elixir Pill, taking over the pill business. He was too dazzling, constantly in the public eye, making it hard for Leng Pengfei to even strike at him now.
"So when will I finally catch up with Tang Rao? I can't wait to fight him to the death."
Leng Pengfei still harbored impulsive feelings, wanting to fight Tang Rao imdiately to vent his frustration, yet Black Demon wouldn't allow it.
The old Bald was sitting nonchalantly on the ground, watching Leng Pengfei practice, thinking that Leng Pengfei was rely trash. To think he could contend with Tang Rao, he was indeed still too naive.
"Bald, what are you laughing at? Do you think you're capable of challenging Tang Rao?"
Leng Pengfei disliked anyone laughing nearby; he always thought they were mocking him.
"Not to hide it from you, I'm laughing at your overestimation of yourself. Do you really think you're capable of fighting Tang Rao?"
Black Demon mocking Leng Pengfei was one thing, but who did Bald, a newcor, think he was?
Leng Pengfei was rather incensed at Bald's response.
"Bald, if you have the ability, why don't you go knock down Tang Rao yourself instead of making sarcastic remarks?"
Given Leng Pengfei's temper, he would have already fought with Bald.
If Black Demon were present, he wouldn't dare fight; he'd get punished by Black Demon for making a move, right?
"You're indeed no match for Tang Rao. Talk again when you can defeat Bald."
Black Demon chuckled lightly, then disappeared.
With Black Demon's words, Leng Pengfei could only swallow his resentnt. He dared not actually fight Bald, knowing full well he was no match for him. If Bald killed him, Black Demon wouldn't intervene; he'd only see it as Leng Pengfei's own doing.
News ca from Zijing City saying the first phase was already completed, with several hundred houses ready for handover. Tang Rao could hardly believe it hearing this news.
"Father-in-law, it's finished so quickly? Is it a conscientious project, or did they just rush it for show?"
He remained skeptical, and even though Li Zhentong personally claid it was done, he doubted it.
Gods were different from mortals; their work efficiency was worlds apart.
"Whether it's good or not isn't up to ; you need to see it for yourself. Don't you agree?"
Li Zhentong was right, and Tang Rao thought so too. He simply went to see for himself, checking the construction progress of Zijing City.
Upon reaching the island of Tingzhou, he realized how famous Zijing City had beco.
Rumors about Zijing City were everywhere in the streets. Li Zhentong also ntioned that many had already asked if Zijing City was for sale, smart ones left quietly, while the ignorant ones insisted on buying Zijing City, even threatening to burn it down if it wasn't sold.
Whether those words were truthful or not, as long as anyone had such notions, Li Zhentong remained greatly vigilant, increasing the number of guards severalfold.
"Is it built according to your requirents? Now that you've seen it, do you feel assured at heart?"
Li Zhentong was confident, but did Tang Rao feel the sa?
