The Sovereign Of The Three Realms
Chapter 8: Shocking Hall of Healing
It must be said, the engraved dragon medallion had little influence. Whether it was the third hallmaster of the Hall of Healing, or its elders, none of them dared to underestimate the dragon medal holder.
It was not that they did not dare to insult such a character; it was more than they did not want.
Jiang Zheng was quickly invited inside. Apart from the third hallmaster, there was a man and a female elder present as well, fully showing the depth of the Hall's sincerity.
This was not the first time Jiang Zheng had come to the Hall of Healing. The highest ranked person he had ever seen before was an administrator, and it was only a glance. He didn't even have the chance to start a conversation.
But, today, a hallmaster and two elders stood before him and treated him as an honored guest.
Isn't this a drastic change in fate?
Jiang Zheng felt very good inside, but did not let it go to his head. He firmly told himself to calm down and avoid showing fear. He knew that these people did not give him face, but a medal.
Since he had a medal up his sleeve, what should he fear?
Someone had to give it to him, Jiang Zheng was something else alright. The three hallmasters still could not read about him after three rounds of tea. He chuckled and said, “This noble master carries a medal given by the king himself. Master must be an unusual person. May we collect a little of your destination here today?”
Given by the king himself? Jiang Zheng almost threw the teacup from his hand in fear.
When Jiang Chen gave him this medal, he simply said that it would be useful, but did not signal that it had been given by the king himself. He finally understood why the Hall of Healing was so courteous.
“To be honest, it's not a big thing. I've come to get some medicinal ingredients, and to discuss a little affair with your Hall. ”
Buying medicinal ingredients was a small thing in the eyes of the hallmaster and elders, something they would not ask further. They are much more interested in that ‘business place’.
“Can we know what business this is?” The Hallmaster asked without commitment. He would not rashly agree to anything before gaining a full understanding of this stranger's background.
“I have a pill recipe here, which has been missing since ancient times.” Jiang Zheng did not care about the small talk and immediately gave chase. “I will not sell this recipe, just share the profit. 50/50: You are in charge of the medicinal ingredients, I will only hold possession. ”
Holding ownership and asking for a 50/50 split, this asks for a lot.
Even if it was an exclusive pill recipe, the Hall of Healing had never seen it before. This guy really demands too much. 50/50 split, this is really a robbery!
“Heh, Hall has seen our part of the pill recipe trade before. We always buy the previous owners, and have no precedent for sharing the profits. And not to mention the fact that we bear the cost. This 50/50 division.. really... Let's put it this way: May I see the recipe first?”
The third Hallmaster did not close the negotiations, but it was clear that he was not too enthusiastic. As for the recipe, he did so out of professional respect.
“You can see it is fine, I'm just worried you won't be able to understand it. Ah whatever, you can look around. I have a purification method, and I have left behind some of the most important ingredients. Feel free to pass it, but never think of stealing it.”
Jiang Zheng generously took out the list and spoke in an indifferent and indifferent manner. He was calm like a mountain. It was obvious that he was fully comfortable with the present situation and interacted with Hall's authority figures easily.
The third Hallmaster took his recipe, glanced at it and slightly furrowed his brows. How about prescription pills that have been lost for centuries?
A piece of plain paper, plain handwriting.His first impression is that this is a fraud.
If you want to forge an ancient pill recipe, at least find a yellowed sheet of paper and write it down with clever calligraphy.
Whatisthis?
This forgery really has no effort. Did he intend to use the dragon medallion to deceive the Hall of Healing?
The two elders also looked at the recipe with strange expressions on their faces. Their gazes met, and the two could read “fraud” in each other's eyes.
The third Hallmaster took back his recipe and researched it again. His eyebrows wrinkled, “Pil Heavenly Karma. I have never heard of this pill. ”
“This pill recipe from ancient times. Isn't it normal that you've never heard of it? If so, is it still a long lost recipe?” Jiang Zheng calmly moistened his lips with a mouthful of tea.
He placed the tea cup and closed it onto the table with one smooth motion. “You have seen the recipe now but cannot recognize its true value. There will be others who can. I know your mind. You think that this paper and handwriting look too ordinary, and it's fake. Ah, whatever. One cannot talk to summer insects about ice. If you understand, you don't need words of explanation. If not, then it makes no difference if I speak until my face turns blue. I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye to.”
Although Jiang Zheng spoke in a free and relaxed manner, his heart was pounding like a drum. This is his last scheme: play hard to get it. Pretending to be a deep character, pretending not to care.
If they don't like it, then he's completely out of ideas.
“Ai. I hope the Peasant God Temple or the Pill King Garden recognizes the value of where it is located. Let us hope that there are not many pill amateurs and not a single master is worthy of his title in this great capital city. ”
Jiang Zheng showed a listless interest as he recklessly stood up and prepared to leave.
The third Hallmaster felt Jiang Zheng was a bit mysterious because the latter was quite elusive and could not be explained freely and easily. If their guest left just like that, it meant that the Hall of Healing did not offer any humiliation. Logically speaking, they should be quite happy with this turn of events.
But for some reason, the third principal felt that if they let this guest go like this, the Hall would lose something.
His curiosity peaked, the third hallmaster exclaimed, “Master, please hold your step! My Hallmaster Hall master and the second Hallmaster will be back in just a few days. Although I do not know these pills, maybe they..”.
Jiang Zheng advanced with a retreat, and increased his game by playing hard.
The third hallmaster and the two elders said nothing in response and would happily send their guests along their path, as a cold snort pierced through the passageway. The haughty voice penetrated firmly in the air, “Resep what? Such empty pride, carry it in front of me. ”
Jiang Zheng hesitated and was about to speak when the third principal smiled, “It was the older Shun. Elder Shun was a stranger, but an expert of Hall Dwellers and a heavyweight in the pill medicine world. Even my Hallmaster Hall master must pay his respects to Elder Shun.
“Can resident experts make a decision?” Jiang Zheng stuck his nose into the air.
“If Elder Shun is doing the assessment, the Hall will trust Elder Shun's judgment.”
A resident expert can have such influence and influence? What kind of resident expert is this? Jiang Zheng thought it was very strange, but this was not what he really cared about.
The pill recipe was passed to another room, where a white-haired old man, who had witnessed the passage of time, picked up the paper. He glanced at her, and at first thought the same as the third hallmaster. But he then furrowed his brows and thought hard.
His wrinkle deepened after a while, and he muttered to himself, “Can such a pill recipe exist on this earth? Can I walk the path of the dao of alchemy for two hundred years, yet still remain so foolish? ”
Elder Shun suddenly stood up and opened the door to step into the garden behind the room. There was a girl dressed in pale green silk in the middle of the garden, standing in the middle of a patch of jade green bamboo. He was feeding some birds as the morning mist shone on his snow-white skin, turning it as soft as a suet.
“Huanger.” Elder Shun called.
The girl turned around and showed the same stunning beauty that enchanted her like a silver moon, the white of snow, the most beautiful scenery. A few faint traces of sadness could be found on her brows, adding a hint of sadness to her alluring beauty.
To find such beauty on earth, it was a match even for the fairies in heaven.
“Ya, Elder Shun?”
Elder Shun smiled, ”I just received a pill recipe but I can't put my finger on it. Huang’er, will you keep an eye on him?”
The girl smiled lightly. The smile smoothed his brows and removed the gloom, reviving him.
“If even the older Shun can't get out, then Huang’er couldn't possibly do any better. Let me see it.”
When he handled the recipe, Huang’er did not comment on the paper or handwriting, but subconsciously sighed softly, “Pil Heavenly Karma? This is an ancient recipe. ”
His expression grew even more astonished the further he read. Finally, he read the recipe from top to bottom again, “I've seen this pill recipe in a precious classic book, but it's not complete. The ingredients listed however, are exactly the same as those listed here. The list in the classic book is not as complete as the one here.”
Surprised elder Shun's turn, “So this means the Heavenly Karma pill recipe is genuine?”
“True or not, Huang’er had never seen his full recipe before. But following this line of thought, it is most likely that this recipe is real. Elder Shun, where did this pill recipe come from?”
Elder Shun's face suddenly came alive as an animated light shone from his eyes. But he seemed to be thinking of something pathetic, and the light slowly faded again.
“Ai, even if this Heavenly Karma pill is real, it is only the gold standard for physical injuries. There is no use against your disease, Huang’er.”
Elder Shun's joy was greatly reduced after he spoke.
However, Huang’er was the one who smiled and said, “Older Shun, the things written on the stars cannot be forced. Leave it to destiny.”
The pill recipe went back to the third hallmaster and elder, along with the impartial sentence of elder Shun, “The recipe was most likely real, and if it came into production, it was, then all of your Eastern Kingdom healing pills, and even those from the sixteen neighboring kingdoms, are trash compared to that. Demand would dry up because the Heavenly Karma pill would rule the market. You decide what to do next! ”
It was clear that even though old Shun was merely a resident expert, his status was extremely high and even the Hall of Healing licked him.
The third hallmaster was amazed. He did not anticipate that, after elder Shun's judgment, a fake pill that surpassed those words would be most likely real.
It was good and everything, but elder Shun's words were too frightening. This Heavenly Karma Pill would cause all other similar products to be pulled off the shelf? It's too scary to contemplate.
It's corrupting the market! To corner the market means high returns and very high returns on investment. Even just thinking about it was enough to make one shudder.
Instead, Jiang Zheng was able to rest his heart when he heard Shun's older judgment. What a savior; what an expert! He was truly a family, someone who recognized the true value of everything!
Jiang Zheng was so afraid that elder Shun would conclude with “sampah” as his assessment. If that was the case, then he, Jiang Zheng, would be expelled from the Hall in a dusty exodus.
But now, armed with old Shun's judgment and observing the reaction of the third principal, Jiang Zheng knew that the young duke had won this bet. He really got help from the gods!
He had certainty and an ace up his sleeve, therefore Jiang Zheng's attitude became superior. He smiled faintly, “Seeing the Healing Hall is unwilling to reveal anything, then I will not waste my time any further. Pamitan.”
“Master, please wait!” The third Hallmaster became a little stressed.
He was unable to not do so, if this Heavenly Karma Pill ended up in the hands of the competition, then it would be a very bad development. In the future, not only would the Eastern Kingdom market be dominated by this pill, so would the markets of the 16 neighboring countries.
That's really a scary thought.
