The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 49

Some of the more nosy people kept asking, “Head of Qiao Hall, I remember you just mentioned introducing three types of pill medicine. What else is there besides the Heavenly Karma Pill and the Broad Ocean Pill?”    

“Yes, we trust Hall of Healing products. Come out, so everyone can rejoice!”    

“Hallmaster Qiao, don't make us tense, talk!”    

The crowd of people made a fuss and tiptoed expectantly.    

Qiao Baishi nodded, smiling leisurely. “We decided to secretly introduce the third pill medicine after careful consideration. The Hall of Healing would provide most of its profits with the third pill medicine. Our goal is to contribute to those who have supported the Hall of Healing over the years.    

The third pill medicine was called One Buddha Powder, a type of pill medicine that refreshed and calmed the mind. When compared to the best similar products on the market today, the effects of One Buddha Powder may be twice as effective. But the price we charge will be half of the best pill medicine on the market today!”    

Twice as effective as half the price!    

Silence completely mastered a moment after Qiao Baishi spoke. They almost suspected something was wrong with their ears.    

Did they hear wrong?    

It had been so strange, and so absurd, that the twice as effective pill medicine had not gone up in price, but now the price had instead been lowered by half?    

This…    

Finally, someone could not help it. “Qiao School Head, this...you are not kidding, right?”    

“The Hallmark of Healing is here, how dare I speak nonsense? Every spit from the Hall of Healing is like a nail, please calm everything down. To be honest, we do not plan to earn much income from One Buddha Powder.”    

But this last sentence is somewhat easier. In fact, since the Powder of One Buddha did not need to be purified, the wasted ingredients were absent so the cost of the principal sale was only one-tenth of the Stork Heart Pill in the King Pill Garden.    

At such a low cost, even lowering the price by half still makes money.    

To be honest, even though it was sold for the same price as the Stork Heart Pill, it was still enough to inflame the market, but Qiao Baishi deliberately slashed the price by half.    

The goal was to defeat the Pill King Garden so hard that they had no chance at all to return.    

Moreover, they could take advantage of this opportunity to create the image of a virtuous and sincere Healing Hall, strengthening the position of the Hall as the first heavyweight spirit medicine.    

Qiao Baishi had exerted three moves in a row and introduced three types of pill medicines. And each one is more amazing than the one before.    

However for the Pill King Garden, three consecutive moves of Qiao Baishi were equivalent to three consecutive heavy blows. Each one is more debilitating than the one before!    

Court Chief Wang could barely stand up. The sky turned and the ground spun, he almost fainted back then as his teeth chattered, showing his weakness.    

He knows this isn't a joke. It was a bloodless massacre in the market. With these three moves, the Hall of Healing had destroyed the foundation of the PIll King Garden.    

“Grand Courtmater, what... what should we do?”    

“Mr Violet, say something. Surely you won't witness Pill King Garden go bankrupt?”    

“Yes Mr. Violet, we all work for the Duke of Soaring Dragon, you.”    

Master Violet let out a cold snort and looked at the senior executives of the Pill King Garden with eyes full of disdain. He swept his sleeves up and to the left.    

“Truly can not achieve anything, but good at ruining something!”    

The last confidence held by the senior executives of the Pill King Garden collapsed along with his departure.    

The senior executives in the Hall of Healing also felt like they were in dreamland at this moment. They also did not anticipate Qiao Baishi's consecutive actions.    

After all, in an effort to avoid leaks, Qiao Baishi continuously hid and did not reveal his intentions with regards to the matter. Even many senior executives present had not known about it.    

Apart from a few elders who were completely loyal to Qiao Baishi, who had received a hint from Qiao Baishi before this matter occurred, many senior executives were unaware of it beforehand, including the second principal Yue Qun.    

But at this moment, what did Yue Qun care about it. Looking at the faces that had been thwarted by the side of the Pill King Garden, his old face smiled so hard that it almost bloomed into a flower.    

“Number three, you have played this hand beautifully!” Yue Qun patted Qiao Baishi on the shoulder. “I previously thought it was a bit strange that Lord Hallmaster trusted you and nurtured you. In that case, my insights are truly inferior to those of Lord Hallmaster.”    

“The second head of school is experienced and steady, there is much more I have to learn from you.” Qiao Baishi also responded humbly.    

The next step was a show by the Pill Trial Warriors.    

The Pil Trial Warrior Profession was the first and foremost to be impartial and tell the truth.    

Of course, the spirit medicines from the Hall of Healing could stand the test. After repeated testing by the Pill Trial Warriors, these pill medicines had obtained complete certification!    

Heavenly Karma Pill, Broad Ocean Pill, One Buddha Powder!    

Under the guarantee of the Pill Trial Warriors, the last doubts and suspicions possessed by anyone present had been dispelled. All the guests boiled with vigor and surged to the front of the display table.    

“Hallmaster Qiao, I am the son of the Minister of War, Minister Fan. I'll come in the morning to order, remember to reserve a place for me.    

“Yue Tua, my brother is Vice Minister Zhang at the Ministry of Revenue. Your relationship with him has been more than ten years, right? Save a place for brothers tomorrow, I want to order!”    

All kinds of help given to someone come in a period of time.    

Although the Healing Hall had many parties backing them, they could not withstand the pressure from the people in the slightest.    

As for Princess Gouyu, who was invited by the Hall of Healing, her charming face looked extremely grim as she looked at the situation that turned into the opposite. He occasionally glanced at Jiang Chen, his heart filled with questions.    

He looked again at Jiang Chen. All this while he was slightly smiling, as if the hubbub before his eyes had nothing to do with him.    

As Princess Gouyu was sifting through the complicated feelings, an elder from the Hall of Healing walked over respectfully, holding a luxurious jade box in his hand.    

“Your Majesty, this is a dry division agreement (1). According to young duke Jiang, the Princess was involved in the Powder One Buddha. It's twenty percent dry part, we hope the princess receives it kindly.”    

Twenty percent dry part, this is basically accepting money without putting in the slightest effort!    

Gouyu was stunned, what involvement? What did that brat Jiang Chen play? But he immediately thought of the recipe Jiang Chen had written for him and suddenly recalled what he said – if he did not believe it, he could take the recipe and exchange it for several million silvers in the Hall of Healing.    

It was true, the boy's hand could be found behind this matter!    

Princess Gouyu further confirmed her internal speculations. She is a royal princess and does not like to air. He nodded his head slightly, and one of his servants accepted the agreement for the twenty percent dry share.    

He was well aware that the value of twenty percent of this dry part was over several million. When this One Buddha Powder was introduced, it would definitely invade the market and, without a doubt, corner the sector.    

In a long-term calculation, the profit from these twenty percent dry parts would definitely be expressed in the hundreds of millions.    

The furore that occurred in the Pill King's Garden ultimately benefited the Healing Hall. He also accidentally pushed himself into the abyss of destruction.    

It's basically digging a hole and burying themselves!    

The guests present finally left reluctantly, after repeatedly pledging from the senior executives of the Hall of Healing.    

The Hall of Healing had won on all fronts in this campaign, and returned home carrying the spoils of war.    

As the mastermind behind the scenes, Jiang Chen had been watching the show he had come to watch, and was about to leave with his subordinates when he suddenly stopped when he passed the display table in the Pill King's Garden.    

“Oh right, Court Chief Wang, I gave you a warning because of the kindness of my heart the last time that your days were counting. You treat my good intentions as bad intentions. Ai, I don't even know how to cheer you up.”    

Jiang Chen planned to stomp this Court Chief Wang to death with one foot.    

This man had openly bullied his Jiang family, and had humiliated Jiang Feng in the Soaring Dragon palace. In Jiang Chen's eyes, this man was destined to become a rotten bone in the grave, and he didn't have much time left.    

A cold killing intent radiated from Court Chief Wang's eyes as his red eyes filled with wildness. He was like a starving wolf at a dead end, ready to risk his life at any moment.    

When he walked out of the Myriad Treasure Palace, Jiang Chen's tone of voice was extremely cold. “A person will be a victim in return if a snake is not beaten to death. If we want to do something to this Pill King Garden, then we must destroy and tear it down!”    

The four battalion brothers Sheng all nodded and felt that Jiang Chen's words were very reasonable.    

Jiang Chen, wait a minute.    

At the entrance of the Myriad Treasures Palace, Princess Gouyu, wearing a light green-colored skin body armor equipped with a natural body scent, rushed in front of Jiang Chen.    

He pushed the box forward, “I returned twenty percent of this dry part to you.”    

“For what did you return it to me?” Jiang Chen smiled. “Isn't this a red envelope for you?”    

“Huh. Don't suppose I didn't know that you must have been involved in the Hall of Healing's turnaround. Do you think I don't know the origin of this One Buddha Powder?” Princess Gouyu's face flushed red.    

“If they give it to you then just accept it, what's with those foreign words?” Jiang Chen rolled his eyes. “After all, you were the first to drink this One Buddha Powder. You are a Pill Trial Warrior, receiving a red envelope is a normal thing, right?    

"What's? Jiang Chen, you brat. How dare you treat this princess as a Pill Trial Warrior!” Princess Gouyu could not help her inexplicable anger.    

“Look at yourself, you are fine!” Jiang Chen chuckled. Please, he – Jiang Chen – is the most famous alchemist under the heavens. The pill recipe he took out was an advanced recipe from a higher realm. They have experienced forging hundreds and thousands of truths. What is the need for the Pill Trial Warrior?    

“Don't be too grumpy, I know in your heart you thank me. If you want to pay me back, send that set of flying daggers to me early.    

Jiang Chen squeezed his legs after he finished speaking and left on a galloping horse.    

The four Sheng battalion brothers were under orders to protect Jiang Chen. They could only look at the princess helplessly, before rushing after.    

Only Princess Gouyu remained, gazing into the distance while holding the jade box. After today's incident, Gouyu could definitely be sure that Jiang Chen was not as simple as he looked on the surface.    

“Jiang Chen...” Princess Gouyu lightly uttered this name and was immersed in the puzzling deep thought at that moment.    

Back at the Jiang Han residence, Jiang Chen was not too excited due to the events of the day. To be honest, today's events were only a distraction to him    

The endless martial dao was Jiang Chen's main goal.    

“Jiang Zheng, go to the Hall of Healing and have Qiao Baishi come here.” Jiang Chen thought for a moment and had an idea in his mind.    

He did not want to split some of his mental energy to think about the affairs of the Hall of Healing. He needed to concentrate more on the path of martial dao.    

Someone had to give it to him, Qiao Baishi was already approaching blind worship now when it came to Jiang Chen. Despite the many affairs waiting for him in the Healing Hall, he immediately departed without hesitation when he heard Jiang Chen's call.    

Jiang Chen was quite satisfied with Qiao Baishi's attitude.    

“Third school head, I only have one sentence. What I have given to your Hall of Healing today, can I take back tenfold tomorrow. Do you trust me?"
